A Paris despatch says that two English

One Of the lessons which the Chicago
mter-Ocean draws from Senator Logan's
death is that the wear and tear and expos
ure Of political campaign have more in
fluence in shortening life than the strain Of
work or anxiety. Emphasizing this lesson,
the Inter Ocean remarks: when eX Sen
ator Conkliug made his last campaign in
the West, he stipulated that he should not
be- asked to speak out of doors He was so
msistent on this point, in the interest Of his
health, that wigWams were built for him at
points where there were no large halls
Logan, less careful Of his health, spoke Of
ten in the rain. When he was last at Quin-
cy he sat Tor over an hour in the damp, cold
air after he had made a speech that left him
in II profuse perspiration Logan is dead

II is curious 10 speculate on what our
posterity will drink couple Of centuries
hence, says the San Francisco Call. All
our present drinks are quite modern. 1t is
only some 300 years since our race began
to drink tea and at that time it was a com
parative novelty among the Chinese them
selves Coffee began to be drank in Europe
some time after the landing of the Pilgrims.
1t was introduced into Java less than 80
years ago and to Mocha perhaps 100 before.
Prior to this period the men of our race
drank beer and sage tea. Wine has always
been n favorite beverage in all countries :
the Greeks and Romans and civilized ma
tons of antiquity drank it freely. and like
wise consumed quantities of sweet drinks
made from honey. which must have been
clUying to the stomach. Decoctions of Il
variety of herbs, more or less fermented,
have been consumed by the aboriginal peo
pie Of this continent. Africa and Asia
Strong drinks have been made from almost
every species Of grain and from variety
of vegetables. Are we 10 allow ourselves
to suppose that the cup that cheers but does
not inebriate will make way for fermented
liquors Or shall future age witness a
race Of people who have returned To- first
principles and discarded such stnmulants as
tea and coffee for pure milk from the COW
and the goat and the she ass

THREE RIVAL PERFORMERS IN LONDoN-THEIR
WONDERFUL. FEATs or SKILL.
London Saturday Review

THREE RIVAL PERFORMERS IN LoNDoN-THEIR
WONDERFUL. FEATs or SKILL.
London Saturday Review
The art of iugglery is wholly distinct
from the art of coniuring, with which it is
often ignorantly COMPOUNDED The art Of
conuring has 70 do with the performance
of strange wonders, the means whereby
these mysteries are wrought remaining con
cealed. The art of Juggling has TO do with
the exhibition of feats of skill without any
cOncealment or mystery. The gentleman in
a dress coat and with foreign accent who
borrows your watch and your friends hat,
and who "vanishes' the former and makes
an omelette in the latter. and then reveals to
YOU that the watch is in the omelette-the
gentleman who accomplshes this marvel Is
a coniurer, a magician, an adept in the art
of white magic. The performer who spins
a plate on the end of stick in his left hand
while he is keeping three balls in the air
with his right hand-this performer is a
iuggler The coniurer does that which
seems impossible, and leaves you in wonder
as 10 the means whereby he deceived you.
The iuggler does that which seems dilhcult,
but You are never in doubt as to the way in
which it is done, for there is nothing hid
den, and the feat explains itself. In short,
the cunjurer deceives you and the iuggler
does not this is the gist of the matter.
NJ Robert Houdin, in his delightful auto
biography, tells us that when he had deter
mined to become a conjurer he began by
learning to juggle as a preliminary train
ing for his eye and his hand. He was in
structed in the art by ''pedicure' named
AIaous, who taught him in month To keep
four balls in the air at the SAME time. Then
the future muster of magic, desiring to ac-
qure the faculty of doing two things at
once-a faculty of inestimable value to the
modern magican-improved ON his teach
er's instructions by training himself to read
while Juggling. II placed a book before
me, " he records, "and while my four balls
were dancing in the air | accustomed my
self TO read it without hesitation Thirty
wears later. when he sat down to write his
memoirs he found that, although he had
never performed this feat in public, and
very rarely had repeated il in private, he
was still able TO read while juggling, but
| that he could then only keep three balls IN
the air, and not four, as he had done for
merly. This is additional evidence, were
/ any needed, that, although dexterity ac
| quired early in life may diminish with the
/ advancing years and an abandonment OF
I constant practice, it is rarely lost altogether
The admirers of the art of iugglery may
now see in London three very remarkable
performers, Treway at the Alhambra Pau

mined to test the effect of the famed mes
cal In order that they might try the real
stuff they sent for "a supply to Piedras Ne

yesterday afternoon about a dozen of them

party is able TO give his experience today.
He says the others may he able to put in an
appearance at their respective offices by
Tuesday if they suffer no relapses but, he
adds, they all curse mescal from the bottom
of their hearts. This one SAYS he drank
less than "a quarter of gill, mixed with
about the same quantity of port Wine. He
remembers nothing since o'clock yester-
day afternoon, but gives it as his opinion
that, if it can be proved that the citizens Of
Mexico really did put any of the stuff in

NV Little Love.

Tomorrow eve my love would sail
Away to brighter land.
So down by the rolling sea We went,
And wandered hand In hand
She was charming little thing,
Blue eyes and golden hair,
And plumage as bright as the birds
That cleavrs the summer air,
At last the sunset gun doomed forth
over the darkening wave,
And had bound myself To he
Forever her willing slave
We saw the great red eye look forth
Out of the lighthouse tower;
| vowed I'd be as true to her,
Aud neer forget that hour.
She sailed away, my little love,
Away 10 summer lands
Where she may fill with roses sweet
Her dainty little hands
/ shall br true rs steel to her;
VIII she be- true 10 mey
/ cannot tell, I'm fifty-odd,
And she is only three.
